This Falanghina del Sannio is a classic Campanian wine that tells the exuberance of the whites from southern Italy. Fresh and easy-drinking, it is truly a versatile choice for the table, whether at aperitif time or throughout the meal, where it finds its perfect match with a good plate of spaghetti with clams. Mastroberardino, a winery that has been a reference point for Campanian viticulture for forty years, enhances in this bottle a grape variety that finds its ideal cradle in the Sannio Beneventano, and expresses itself with its simplest and most essential traits.
This Falanghina del Sannio originates from grapes cultivated within the Tenuta di Apice. We are located about 350 meters above sea level, within a medium-textured soil rich in skeleton, with a southeast exposure. Here, the Falanghina vines, which are around 15 years old, grow using the espalier system. The vinification occurs in white, and the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel containers. The aging takes place for several months always in steel, until the wine is deemed ready by Mastroberardino to be bottled and marketed.
The Falanghina del Sannio by Mastroberardino reveals itself with a straw yellow color, accented by some greener touches. Crisp and refreshing is the array of aromas that spreads to the nose, orchestrated with hints of fruit, including exotic ones, and more citrus notes, which gradually take center stage during the olfactory analysis. On the palate, it is light-bodied, with a fresh and savory taste progression, where a lovely aromaticity peeks through, especially at the finish. A label where everything flows with great linearity, also characterized by an excellent quality-price ratio.
